8. Police may add misogyny to hate crime list

Police forces may expand their definition of hate crime to include misogyny after an experiment in one city that saw more than 20 investigations launched in two of months.

9. 'Christmas under threat' claims government study

Christmas is under threat unless people stand up for British values, a government review will claim.

It was part of a wide-ranging study by Dame Louise Casey, the government’s integration tsar.
